"Agents of Mayhem," Volition's new AAA game reveal trailer

As you can see, Agents of Mayhem is in keeping with Volition's modern design ingredients: an urban landscape, lots of open-world action, and a touch of the whimsical. As the trailer hints at, you play a squad of three agents, and use their unique skills in tandem to beat back the bad guys; which isn't to say you're necessarily controlling the "good" ones. Though they're definitely a lot nicer than the mustache-twirling megalomaniacs of L.E.G.I.O.N., the agents of M.A.Y.H.E.M. aren't exactly heroes with a capital "H" either, which is part of their charm. Imagine letting the Suicide Squad loose in a futuristic version Seoul, Korea and you've got one foot in the ballpark.

So it's an exclusively single-player open-world action game featuring characters with cool guns, gadgets, and abilities to toy around with. There's...a lot more to it than that though. What's the connection, if any, to the Saints Row universe, what are you actually doing minute-to-minute, and what kind of characters can you play as? All will be answered in time. Over the course of the month, here's some of what you can expect to see:

It's okay to admit that you can't read. To acknowledge the problem is the first step toward solving it.

Yeah. Saw that. Not quite convinced Saint's Row has much to do with whatever this is but, of course, I cold be very wrong.

[Horizon]

Looks cool enough. Enjoyed Red Faction and Saints Row 1,2 and 3 so I will definitely keep my eye on this one.

i skimmed the video before a meeting earlier and  thought it looked amazing,.. couldn't understand all the negative first impression.  just watch the whole thing through,.. visually i love it but the dialog was terrible.  feels less promising now.

So its a SP campaign game from the looks of the info.

Also related to the SR universe according to multiple sources.

Will add to wishlist :p
